Losing Inside Out... Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran
Losing Inside Out...
He wandered in vain in the richest woods
In search of a magic herb;
For the village apothecary too
Couldn’t offer him much help...
He met those thugs in the market place,
The traders in real time wigs;
Unable to counter their cunning wits
He escaped with minor hits...
Walking tired along the sea side gorge
Caught his attention a call;
‘Get in here right now for better looks
And exchange your heads for naught’
The loss was too bad; he immensely sad
And irresistibly mad,
Went inside; the loggerhead turtles
Waiting there promptly had his scalp...

Losing Inside Out...the obsession in our World for an outward appearance of pefection and beauty is backwards to what it should be. To much time spent on it takes away from what is truely important. It makes unhappy people, if the inside is strong, the outside can not take it away. Your poetry brings insight to living. Thank You, Linda
Nice title! ..And you're right..I do like the humor especially the moral inside... With great loss he felt inside..he was carried away..going mad..and now..everything had gone..inside out! Great imagery..and very well narrated! Thanks for sharing! A 10+++!
I share the view of LINDA FARR. you make always my day as i start living again by reading your poems. Very much reverberating.
nice write and aptly reflects what is what..dealing with life mess..........good imagery down there...
A tale spun around hair...very different, your imaginations and your expertise is bringing out the picture are marvelous!
A very good write dear Easwaran, Liked this poem also. Best wishes for a happy new year 2009. Write more and more.
A very good write, Kesav. Humorous treatment of a, sometimes, sore subject. Honestly though, I've experienced it both ways, with and without hair and I must confess, without is much less trouble. Best wishes, my friend. Richard
It's not a poem, rather a story with a moral.... thanks for sharing Kesavji...
